Get Lucky – March Date Ideas

Posted on February 22, 2020 by kjrandomnotes

Here is a quick list of date ideas for the lucky month of March.

1. Go on a trip to Vegas. Even if you don’t like to gamble, there are a lot of shows and performances you can go see. There are great places to eat and some gorgeous places to stay.

Shield, Las Vegas, Game Paradise, Nevada

2. Go to Lucky’s Café for breakfast or lunch in Dallas. https://luckysdallas.com/

3. Make it a group date. Convince your couple friends to go on a scratch off lottery ticket crawl. Everyone has to be willing to sacrifice $10-20 and some gas money and a couple of hours of time. You stop at a place that sells scratch offs and purchase some. If someone wins or has any money left, you drive to the next place to purchase more scratch offs. You continue to do this until everyone is out of money, your two hours is over, or someone wins enough to treat everyone to drinks, to dinner, or to a movie. If someone wins BIG, be a good sport and celebrate with them.

4. Go play BINGO.

5. Watch a “lucky” movie like one of these: “The Joy Luck Club,” “Just My Luck,” or “Lucky”

7. Workout together by running in a St. Paddy’s Day 5K like the St. Paddy’s Dash Down Greenville in Dallas, TX on March 14th.

8. Find a festival near you in the month of March. Challenge yourself to go to one you wouldn’t normally go to. Who knows, you might end up having an amazing time. https://www.everfest.com/march-festivals

9. Have money to burn and some vacation time to spend, go on a trip to March, United Kingdom.

10. Make it a night at home full of romance and intimacy.

Unique (or not) Valentine’s Day Date Ideas

Posted on February 2, 2020 by kjrandomnotes

Heart, Love, Romance, Valentine, Harmony

Chocolates, roses, romantic candle lit dinner out, sexy lingerie, and a fancy stay at a hotel or resort are all great ideas, but if you’re looking for some other ideas, here are some things to consider.

1. The first 14 days of February leave your love a special note. Maybe it’s always in the same place each day or maybe you place each one in a new place each day. Give them 14 reasons you love them, 14 special memories you’ve shared together, or 14 dreams you want to share with them, or mix it up. Have fun with it! It’s sure to make your love smile every day.

2. Find a recipe on Pinterest together, go to the store together, prep together, cook the meal together, set out the fancy dishes (or at least not the paper plates), light a candle, play some romantic music, enjoy the meal together, and clean up the mess together.

3. Want to workout together and a get a good laugh? Go do yoga with the goats.

4. Go on a cultural walk through the city looking for all the art that expresses love in some form or fashion. Take lots of selfies.

5. Take a pottery class, a painting class, a glass blowing class, a cooking class, or any other kind of class offered in your area. Just do it together.

Heart, Valentine, Love, Affection, Red, Pink

6. Make chocolate covered strawberries together. Then enjoy them with a bottle of champagne, wine, or sparkling juice.

7. Check out the events going on in your area the week of Valentine’s Day. Pick one out together and commit to going. Have a great time!

8. Do a photo shoot together. Go to a place that’s special to you or one that will make a great backdrop for photos. Set the timer on your phone or camera and laugh through all those shots. Capture some priceless moments to last a lifetime.

9. Spend the evening planning a romantic getaway during the not-so-expensive off-peak times. Light candles. Play romantic music. Select your budget. Pick your dates. Plan your trip with romance in mind. Book it on Valentine’s Day to actually enjoy on a different day.

10. Create a playlist of songs that are special to both of you. Go for a drive and listen to them. Stop somewhere and take a walk hand in hand. Enjoy the sun setting together. Go find a place to gaze at the stars or enjoy the city’s skyline. Kiss under the moon. Look each other in the eyes and tell each other how much you love them. Just be present and together.

Winter Date Ideas

Posted on January 31, 2020 by kjrandomnotes

Winter isn’t my favorite time of year, but there are some pretty romantic moments to be had during the winter. Before we know it, everything around here will be budding and bursting with the first signs of spring. Before winter passes us by, challenge yourself to go on some amazing winter dates with the person you love the most.

1. Play in the snow. Build a snowman. Make snow angels. Go skiing, snowboarding, tubing, snowshoeing, or snowmobiling. Have a snowball fight. No snow? No problem. Plan a trip and go see some. Too expensive for your taste? Crumble up your junk mail and have a “snowball fight” in your house. Just make sure both of you are willing to clean up the mess when the game is over.

2. Sit by the fireplace and share the things you love about each other.

3. Brave the cold. Build a fire in the firepit. Sit around it (even if you have to bundle up in blankets around the fire), and share your favorite memories.

4. Find the best hot chocolate place in town, and go enjoy a cup together. Sit in the back corner of the café, put your phones/technology away, and get lost in conversation.

5. Go ice skating. Hold hands. Keep each other from falling down. Laugh. Have fun.

6. Go to the theater and enjoy a show together.

7. Snuggle up in your favorite blanket, and go on a movie date in your living room.

8. Pull out your favorite card game or board game and enjoy some friendly competition.

9. Go to an indoor rock climbing place. Get a great workout. Work on your trust for each other and be great communicators as you coach each other up the side of the indoor cliff face.

10. Become like children and build a blanket fort. Take your flashlights inside and enjoy a romantic moment.

11. Play music and dance around your living room or dress up and go dancing at a local club.

12. Bake bread or dessert together. Not your idea of a good time? Go out for dessert.

13. Go on a chocolate tour or find the best place to eat chocolate near you.

14. Do a yard project together. Turn your yard (or patio, or balcony) into your own slice of paradise by spring.

15. Go somewhere warm together. Can’t afford an exotic trip to the tropics? Enjoy a hot shower together.
